Summary :

A floorplan specifies the layout of modules in very large scale integration (VLSI) design, and a new code, called the EQ-sequence, for representing a floorplan is presented in this paper. The EQ-sequence is based on a Q-sequence. The EQ-sequence can preserve the adjacent relationships of rooms on a floorplan, but the Q-sequence cannot. The algorithms for encoding, moving and decoding of an EQ-sequence are introduced. With the EQ-sequence, we can check whether two modules abut each other on a floorplan. It has been proved that any floorplan of n rooms is uniquely encoded by an EQ-sequence and any EQ-sequence is uniquely decoded to a floorplan, both in O(n) time.
